Being
aggressive in cleaning dust from the air in your shop
doesn't necessarily mean you have to spend a ton on new
equipment.
Choose the system that's right for
you!
Dust collection systems are now more
affordable than ever. These are among the most popular
versions of dust collection systems for home
shops:

 If you're looking for a fairly powerful
dust collection system, but don't have the space
or the desire to set up a fixed dust collection
system, consider the #22878
JET Portable Dust Collector. It's easily
wheeled from one tool to the next and doesn't take
up a lot of space. Portable collectors use a hood
near the work area to gather dust left by routing
or sanding operations into a bag. It can also be
hooked up to any power tool with a 4-inch
port. |

 If you're ready for a centralized dust
collection system, the #22642
JET DC-1100 Dust Collector is a good choice
that outperforms all others in its class. It is
essentially a large impeller that pushes dust and
chips into a 30-micron filter bag, then pushes air
out through another 30-micron filter bag. Most
shop vacuums are low-powered, single-stage
collectors, making them a far-from-perfect choice
for use with large stationary power
tools.

 Ever forget to open and close the blast
gates? That's a slip-up that often results in an
unbalanced system, reduced performance, and
actually increases dust. The Ecogate
Blast Gate System eliminates this problem. It
features an electronically-controlled, motorized
blast gate that opens and closes automatically
when your machine is turned on or off. The Ecogate
Blast Gate saves you time, helps protect your
health, and saves you money on energy. Included in
the #24726
system are four 4-inch motorized blast gates,
sensors, and a control system. Individual blast
gates with cable and sensors are also available
(sold separately). |

Professional shops often use a
large
cyclone-type dust collector that can
cope with a huge volume of dust. Rockler
